Eyewitnesses of special operation in Dagestan refute the official version

The eyewitnesses assert the skirmish in the capital of Dagestan on March 20, as a result of which four persons were lost and three wounded, was launched by law enforcers. Earlier it was reported that the fire on the patrol car was opened by passengers of a "Zhiguli" car, who were named militants in official statements.

We remind you that on March 20 in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, another special operation was undertaken. On the following day, the MIA of Dagestan reported that in the course of checking documents and inspecting a model six "Zhiguli" car, automatic fire was opened on militiamen. The latter opened a response fire, which killed all the passengers of the car. They were identified as Arslan Aldaev, Kasum Abdulashev, Gadzimurad Kamaludinov and Alil Idrisov. Aldaev was in federal search on suspicion of attempts on law enforcers and illegal arms circulation.

The militia reports also said that nobody had suffered from among law enforcers, but "three townspeople were wounded by the armed criminals' fire." One of them, a young man aged 26, was rendered medical aid and left home, but two others, aged 55 and 32, were hospitalized with heavy wounds."

However, other sources yield a bit different information. Relatives of Gadzimurad Kamaludinov, announced murdered, who went to the mortuary to identify the body, said that they failed to find him among the casualties.

At the same time, liquidation of Arslan Aldaev was reported by law enforcement bodies back on February 5 - after the operation in Leninkent.

Those hospitalized after heavy wounds were Nadyr Arabov and Ramazan Magomedov, who live at 161g Kazbekova Street. The former received a wound in his neck, and the latter - in his head. Other tenants of the house, eyewitnesses of the events, assert that only power agents were shooting. According to their version, the "Zhiguli" was blocked to three "Priors" and a "BMW", from where people in black uniform appeared and fired out several magazines of their automatic arms on the car with passengers.

To identify the arms that had wounded peaceful residents, a bullet examination is needed. However, according to an anonymous source from the Republic's Investigatory Department, the agents of the Russian FSB who took part in the operation refuse to hand over their personal arms for examination.

A lot of unclear details are still in the special operation conducted on March 21 in the in Karabudakhkent District, when twelve militants - members of Abdulgapur Zakaryaev's grouping - were liquidated in the mountain-woody area near Kakashura village. By today, 4 bodies have been identified and handed over to relatives for burial. A relative of Arsen Askhabov said to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that a couple of days before the tragedy Arsen had left, together with a friend in the latter's car, to seek job to the Rostov Region, however his body was found in the Karabudakhkent District.

The MIA of Dagestan refrained from any comments.
